Benzamide substituted anilino aminopyrimidines



United States Patent U.S. Cl. 260256.4 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Benzamide substituted anilino aminopyrimidines useful to increase the coronary blood flow in warm-blooded animals.

This invention is directed to novel chemical compounds, and more particularly, to substituted pyrimidines having the general formula and acid-addition salts thereof. In this formula, R represents SOgNI-Ig Q t -CNH2 and R and R are each hydrogen and amino. Although both R and R may be hydrogen and amino, they are never identical. That is to say, when R is hydrogen, R is amino, and when R is amino, R is hydrogen.

The non-toxic compounds of this invention exhibit valuable pharmacological therapeutic effects. It has been found that these compounds are potent dilators of coronary arteries. For example, when the free bases or their non-toxic acid-addition salts of this invention are dissolved in saline or suspended in a 50% aqueous propylene glycol solution, and administered intravenously to warmblooded animals in a dosage of from to 150 rug/kg. of body weight, there is a marked increase in the fiow of coronary blood. Coronary blood flow may be increased by as much as 25% within the first hour, and by even greater percentages within the next few hours after administration. Other acid-addition salts of this series are useful as intermediates in making the non-toxic salts or the free bases, which have the aforementioned utility.

In general, the novel compounds of this invention are prepared by reacting the appropriately substituted chloropyrimidine with an equimolar proportion of sulfanilamide or the benzamide. The reactants are dissolved in a suitable solvent such as water or alcohol, and refluxed with heating for one to ten hours. Generally, the reaction is complete within one to two hours, but continuing the refiuxing results in maximum yields. The temperature may be maintained at from room temperature to reflux temperature, depending upon the reaction rate desired. After refluxing, the solution is cooled thereby forming a precipitate, filtered, recrystallized from an appropriate hydroxylic solvent such as water or alcohol, and dried. In this manner, the acid-addition salts are formed, which may then be converted to the free bases.

Since the free base is insoluble in water, it may be desired to have the reaction proceed directly to the acid addition salt by adding small amounts of concentrated acid to the reaction mixture. The acid-addition salt may be converted to the free base by dissolving the salt in an acid or neutral solution and raising the pH to an alkaline level until the free base precipitates from the solution.

In the examples following herein, the reactions described generally relate to the preparation of the acidaddition salts, and more specifically, to the hydrochloride salts. However, it is to be understood that the free bases are prepared according to the same general reaction scheme, as is understood by those skilled in the art. The following examples serve to illustrate various specific embodiments of this invention and are in no way designed to limit the invention.

EXAMPLE 1 p- [N-(6-amino-4-pyrimidinylamino) benzamide hydrochloride To 200 ml. of water containing 8.3 m1. of concentrated hydrochloric acid is added 13.6 grams: of para aminobenzamide and 12.9 grams of 4-amino-6-chloropyrimidine. The mixture is heated under reflux for 4 hours. The solution is then cooled and the white solid precipitate forms. The precipitate is filtered, recrystallized from water and dried, yielding p-[(6-amino-4-pyrimidinylamino)]-benzamide hydrochloride having a melting point of 178-179 C. Analysis calculated: O=49.72%; H=4.55%; N=26.36% Found: C=49.29%; H=4.38%; N=26.17%.

EXAMPLE 2 3-(2-amino-4-pyrimidiny1amino)-benzenesulfonamide hydrochloride To ml. of water containing 3 ml. concentrated hydrochloric acid is added 0.05 mole of 2-amino 4-chloropyrimidine and 0.05 mole of rn-aminobenzenesulfonamide, and the mixture is heated on a steam bath for 2 hours. Upon cooling, a white precipitate forms. The precipitate is filtered, recrystallized from boiling water and dried, yielding 3-(Z-amino-4-pyrimidinylamino)-benzenesulfonamide hydrochloride having a melting point of 27l274 C. Analysis calculated: C=39.80%; H=4.0l%; N=23.21%. Found: C=39.72%; H=3.71%; N=23.17%.

EXAMPLE 3 4- Z-amino-4-pyrimidinylamino benzamide hydrochloride The procedure of Example 2 is as followed except that 0.05 mole of 2-amino-4-chloropyrimidine is added to 0.05 mole of paraaminobenzamide in 100 ml. of water. Recrystallization from boiling water yields 4-(2-amino- 4-pyrimidinylarnino)-benzamide hydrochloride having a melting point of 280-282 C. Analysis calculated:

C=49.72%; H=4.55%; N=26.36%. Found: C=49.95%; H=5.03%; N=26.56%.
